Jose Reyes is about to make a rare donation to the world of baseball memorabilia. He’s agreed not only to cut his hair live on MLB Network Friday at 6 p.m., but to donate those locks for charity.

Reyes’ hair is headed for eBay, with the proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida. They money will be used to help grant the wishes of local children with life-threatening conditions.

The Marlins’ new shortstop, Reyes has not cut his hair since 2007. He’s doing so now to comply with the club’s policy of neat and tidy haircuts.

Many individuals donate their hair to groups such as Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. Scott Hartnell of the Philadelphia Flyers is among those who have done it.
